The 11 March 2011 East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami caused unprecedented
damage to well-engineered buildings and coastal structures. This report presents some notable
field observations of structural damage based on ou ...

At Site-300, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), CA,
trichloroethene (TCE) is present along with tetraalkoxysilanes such as tetrabutoxysilane
(TBOS) and tetrakis(2-ethylbutoxy) silane (TKEBS), as subsurface ...

Three-dimensional laser scanning has revolutionized spatial data acquisition and can be completed from a variety of platforms including airborne (ALS), mobile (MLS), and static terrestrial (TLS) laser scanning. MLS is a ...

The aerobic transformation of TCE and cis-DCE by a tetrabutoxysilane-grown
microorganism (Vancheeswaran et al., 1999) led to the investigation of novel
substrates, including benzyl alcohol, for promoting cometabolism. ...

Batch microcosm studies were carried out to screen for microorganisms from the
subsurface of Hanford DOE site that could cometabolically transform chloroform (CF)
under aerobic conditions. The potential need for CF bio ...

This thesis focused on using microcosms to better understand the aerobic
cometabolic processes of TCE and cis-DCE transformation that occurred during a
Cometabolic Air Sparging (CAS) demonstration at McClellan Air Forc ...

This study evaluated the potential of the aerobic Mycobacterium strain JS6O to
grow on a variety of organic acid substrates, and the possible effects an organic acid
would have on the degradation rate of vinyl chloride ...

Chlorinated phenols are toxic compounds and often released into natural
environments from improper disposal or non-point sources. One important factor in
assessing the environmental fate and transport is the rates of m ...

Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete is a promising way to increase the overall sustainability of new concrete. This has been hindered, however, by a general perc ...

Reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall is studied experimentally in the laboratory wave tank. Precision measurements of water-surface variations are achieved with the aid of laser-induced fl ...

A mix-culture of methanogenic and sulfate-reducing bacteria was capable of degrading trichloroethylene (TCE) to dichloroethylene (DCE). The culture was incubated under anaerobic conditions within a soil sample taken from ...

We present a high-resolution Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mascon solution for Gulf of Alaska (GOA) glaciers and compare this with in situ glaciological, climate and other remote-sensing observations. O ...
